When we realized we could wait no longer for a 2nd vehicle, I started searching the internet. Still struggling through a pile of medical bills didn't leave us a lot to work with and I did not want to vehicle, I started searching the internet. Still struggling through a pile of medical bills didn't leave us a lot to work with and I did not want to risk buying from a private owner. When I found the Barkau website I was really happy. No question was left unanswered and we were able to get preapproved online. The inventory was huge and I found EXACTLY what I was looking for. We were contacted by Nils Sandstrom who made buying our van as easy as going through a McDonald's Drive Thru! Everyone we dealt with was friendly and helpful even though we were not a big sale. In six months we will be in a position financially to upgrade our van and we will be returning to Barkau and hopefully dealing with Nils again. A BIG THANKS TO BARKAU for a great experience!

Friendly staff and very willing to make every opportunity to make your car shopping experience as painless as possible. Almost new facility that very customer friendly. The transaction was pretty seamless to make your car shopping experience as painless as possible. Almost new facility that very customer friendly. The transaction was pretty seamless & the paper work all prepared to help shorten the delivery. I hate spending hours negotiating where the salesman says, " well, I have to see what the manager can do". Our salesman even came in on his day off to complete the deal. More

Nils was friendly and have known him for a long time. Car was on sale and we had no trade in but they were still set on price. Got a good car for a good price. This dealership is rather limited on test drive was on sale and we had no trade in but they were still set on price. Got a good car for a good price. This dealership is rather limited on test drives. Some other dealerships were more open and let us take a car for longer periods of time. When we started looking we went to Nils and ended up back there getting one of the first cars we looked at. Not a high pressure dealership, but not laid back as some. Over all a good deal. More

Needed a reliable vehicle within a budget and that is exactly what we got. It took a couple weeks to find the right one for our family, but we did after adjusting our wants vs. needs.

Nils was very good to work with. We visited 5 or 6 different dealerships and Nils was the only saleman to contact us after a visit plus he did it with a typed letter and not an impersonal message on t different dealerships and Nils was the only saleman to contact us after a visit plus he did it with a typed letter and not an impersonal message on the phone. He came in on his day off to allow us a final test drive and sold us our car. He was very helpful even to the point of recommending cars at the Freeport location. He touched up a paint-chip and through in the rest of the paint touch-up. A good-guy. Don H. More

I have had many great experiences with Barkau of Cedarville. The employees are very friendly and seem to genuinely want my experience to be comfortable. They go out of their way to make this happen. Cedarville. The employees are very friendly and seem to genuinely want my experience to be comfortable. They go out of their way to make this happen. I would have liked the price to be lowerbut settled with the deal rather than have the inconvience of shopping around more. Also the interior of the vehicle wasn't as clean as I thought it would be. But all in all it was a good experience and I would return and refer others. More
